In Togo, digital initiatives are being utilized to address gender-based issues and promote empowerment. The LébéNam application was launched in Lomé to combat gender-based violence. Developed by WANEP-Togo with support from UNFPA and EQUIPOP, the platform uses artificial intelligence to assist victims with reporting, orientation, and accessing support services. The app includes multilingual content and educational tools to overcome cultural barriers.

Broadening the scope of digital transformation, technology is increasingly serving as a lever for gender equality in the country. While risks of reproducing societal inequalities exist, digital tools allow women and girls to access information regarding rights, health, and economic opportunities. Furthermore, social media platforms are facilitating female entrepreneurship, and online learning is providing young women with access to education that was previously limited by geographic or sociocultural constraints.
